    3. On December 27, 1803, William Magee Seton, husband of Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton, later Mother Seton, died in Italy, leaving a widow and five children. On December 27, 1810, Roger Stemble, who would assist in putting down an uprising of the Seminole Indians in Florida in 1836, and who did "brilliant service" in the Mexican War in 1846, was born in Middletown. He rose to the rank of admiral in the U. S. Navy. On December 27, 1923, the Lebherz Brothers formed a new corporation to be called The Everedy Company. They produced the famous "bottle capper" so popular during Prohibition, and later were noted for their kitchenware.
